Another interesting statistical tidbit (to me, anyhow)

We've only punted 8 times the last 3 games. ZERO punts yesterday.

Here's other interesting stats (to me).

In the second half we had the ball for 24:41, NC State had it for 5:19. Has to be close to some record. Overall we had it 36:30 for the game because NC State wouldn't let our offense on the field. (2 TOs for TDs did that trick.)

Also, we scored a TD on every possession except Days fumble and running out the last 7:05 of the clock to end the game.

Domination.

If ncst had scored more offensively or we made them punt more quickly we could have put up 70, that is incredible.

Plus, we scored on two of theirs! For the day we scored more TDs than offensive possessions! When does that ever happen.

another guy pointed out that ncst ran 33 plays and scored 0,we scored TWICE in that time THEY were running THEIR plays
gotta be some record

We're also 4th worst in opponent punts/game, fwiw

 

[AE 87]

We are #2 in 3rd and 10+ conversion%. We are #1 in 3rd and 7+ conversion%. I haven't calculated our D's equivalence

Valid. I wonder how you could separate out tempo effects. Perhaps Punts/Drives? (punt percentage)

How can that be?
"This offense will not work against D-1 competition!"

That would work, but I don't know any site that publishes raw #of drives stats. I've calculated it for offenses after week 10, and by my calculation, GT is #3 in drives/punt, at 3.96. #1 and #2 are tOSU and Marshall.

I still think that points/drive is a better measure because a team that loses turnovers still won't punt.

Here's probably the most appropriate place to drop this:

 

[Eastman]

When I read stats like these and hear the complaints about this "old school" offense, they just don't add up. I understand those who prefer more passing, but this offense should not be criticized as not being successful.

Also the second highest rushing offense, behind Georgia Southern. No suprise really
